VIP Port Adapter Functions
Figure 20 shows some of the slot port adapter and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 system.
For example, the addresses for the 4R interface ports on the first port adapter are 3/0/0 through 3/0/3
(chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 0, and interface ports 0 through 3).
The first port adapter slot number is always 0. The second port adapter slot number is always 1. The
individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. The number of additional ports depends on
the number of ports on a port adapter.
Note
same ports become 2/0/0 through 2/0/3.

and dual 4R configurations are currently not available.
You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/port adapter/interface port location

interface or all interfaces in the router.
To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the
interface type and port address in the format show interfaces [type slot/port adapter/port].
